The terms 'Freedom fighter' and 'Terrorist' are the same.

• The UN has consistantly always backed away from trying to define a terrorist
• On CPAC TV The Canadian Senate in the October 2005 Senate Hearings struggles against neo-con pressure, to resist a definitian of a terrorist. These guests also muscled their way into the House of Commons Committee Hearings months ealier with their same agenda.
• Nelson Mandela is often the lubricant name quoted, for being both a freedom fighter & terrorist in the debates for understanding the terms, but the politically powerful guest intervenors at the Senate Hearings resorted to fear-mongering to try to shift from THE terrorist to arguing THE EFFECTS of terrorism. Of course there can be no appearance of accepting the deaths of innocent civilians, so maybe when one is challenged, he may have to say something like "I refuse to be drawn into fear-mongering bogus arguements".
• At the Senate Hearings, Canadian lawyers associations, Canadian teacher associations, Canadian student associations, and Alan Borovoy of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (particularly eloquent) argued for free speech where legal dissenters fighting for human rights could otherwise be profiled, rounded up, or jailed for inciting DomesticTerrorism^?.
• In the 1920's in Canada and throughout the world Communism was a good word to describe the most honorable of people, but some still hang this millstone around their neck. Maybe we should pre-empt this wrong evolution of the politically correct semantics process and beat the neo-con to the punch. Go along with me for a moment. What would happen if we all simply accept and widely promote calling normal human rights activity as acts of terrorism?
  
  Using the term "terrorist" or "terrorism" with a wink wink twinkle in one's voice and in one's political writings can be very effective to steer a word's meaning - look at our failure to use the terms anti-palestinianism (or anti-palestinic) which can immediately shut down one's anti-arab or anti-Muslim adversary. Clearly, this is proven by the way the term "anti-semite" or "anti-semitism" has a monopoly in the media. Proponents use their "anti-semitism" fears ahead of Arab and Muslim racial fears to fantastic advantage. Both racial slurs are wrong, but its critical that "anti-palestinic" trump "anti-semitic" because in Toronto anti-palestinianism is far more rampant in Toronto's 'comfortable' group.
